COMMON TOUCAN . — Rhamphastos Ariel. 
The very curious birds that go by the name of Toucans are not one whit less 
remarkable than the horn bills, their beak being often as extravagantly large, and 
their colours by far superior. They are inhabitants of America, the greater 
number of species being found in the tropical regions of that country. 
Of these birds there are many species, of which no less than five were living in 
the Zoological Gardens in a single year. The voice of the Toucan is hoarse and 
rather disagreeable, and ii many cases rather articulate
